I called this, a little research with a great conclusion; “You
don’t need to love museums, you just need to go there”
I’m living in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta) . The
perfect delineation of big city with many people, rush and
central of entertaiment. That’s why people prefer to spend their
holiday or weekend in a big mall or other entertainment places.
But actually, Jakarta also has so many incredible museums with
the beautiful vie...

Have you ever felt alone? Scared, worried...hungry perhaps? One
of the most common ways to cope with this is to reach out to an
ultimate being. That natural spirit, be it person, animal, plant,
etc., you have some supreme thing that you worship. Regardless of
bad emotions/ feelings, you might even pray to this god when you
feel good. But is it right for me to tell you what god to pray?
Is it right for you tell me and chastise me if I do not? These
are the questions of religious fre...

Only five steps towards the borderline and now only two are left
to look through the barbed wires. His name is "Kid", he is only
10 years old, he is young but old enough to realize that the sky
above his head is divided into two; where he stands is emptiness
and there across the line is Home.
Now they stopped calling him "Kid", since the day they crossed
that line he became "Refugee". It's been two years now, he was
only eight when he left his home. At first he couldn't understan...

Talking about “About Charity” in our debate http://voicesofyouth.org/en/connect/our-debates/about-charity
I have something that I really want to share with you.
A few days ago I went to a convenience store to have a lunch and
when I enjoyed my meals, there was a boy standing right in front
of me begging for money. Instead of giving him some money, I
asked him to take a seat and having lunch with me. He had refused
because he wanted to take his lunch at home, so that he could
have...

Last month I took a plan to write an essay about children on the
street and I surprised for what I got and the real facts in
reality. Actually I made an essay with my partner and she really
helping for this.
My topic essay is about children on the street and their life, so
I search on internet about the whole detail information and I
went to library in my school. After that, I realized that I
needed more information about it because I'am a curious person so
I had a plan to inte...

Helping the poor, the needy, the destitute, and the
underprivileged is everyone's responsibility. As a leader in an
NGO, we want to help too. In this small community of Bandar
Country Homes, Rawang our first attempt to change the people's
mindset.
Well yes, we want to change their mindset about life. It's not
about doing nothing, robbing, stealing, raping and many other
social illnesses. It's about educating one self.
The project will help the people of the community to be ed...

This week, “Beyond the voices!” is in Democratic Republic of
Congo, where we meet Ollie David, a street kid who decided to
take control of his life and to create an association by street
children, and for street children. A model of courage and
determination!
I am Ollie David Levi and I am the president of AEJERC- an
association aimed at coaching youth and street children of Congo.
I create wealth and values. I make the rich and the philosopher
laugh and I am the one who kno...

Violence against children is everywhere. But people turn a blind
eye. It’s hidden behind closed doors. It’s invisible.
All children have the right to live free from violence. Violence
which harms their physical and mental growth. Violence which
holds back every society.

come together and say that it is not acceptable. When they make
the invisible visible.
